FRIDAY 5s: ST. PATRICK’s DAY Tae, Music, Lent 14.3.14

Random 5 Friday at A Rural Journalwhich works perfectly withToday’s FRIDAY 5s where Rev Gal Karla says ~“Hi gals and pals~~ Happy Friday to you!I don’t have a theme this week, just a variety of questions for your writing pleasure…

1) How are you? What’s taking up your mind-heart space these days?

2) It’s St. Patrick’s Day on Monday~~will you celebrate or give a nod to it?

3) My colleague is a voracious morning reader of blogs, online news, articles, etc. What, besides RevGalBlogPals, do you look at frequently, if not daily?

4) I got nothin’ here. This is a free for all. Just tell us something!

#1 – Photo posting #LENT reflections is taking up mind-heart spacefor me these days. [Plus advocating for elderly experiencing abuses and injustices by management of an apartment housing complex. ]#2 – Absolutely celebrating St Patrick’s Day!Can’t grow up in a town called ‘Killarney‘ and NOT celebrate the wearin’ o’ the Green!Beginning with morning tae !Join me?*

I love St Patrick’s inspired creativity in sharing the Gospel using the shamrock to describe TrinityFather Son Holy SpiritOne

St. Patrick’s Prayer

*

May the Power of God preserve us.May the Wisdom of God instruct us.May the Hand of God protect us.May the Way of God direct us.May the Shield of God defend us.May the Host of God guard us.Against the snares of the evil ones.Against temptations of the worldMay Christ be with us!May Christ be before us!May Christ be in us,Christ be over all!May Thy Salvation, Lord,Always be ours,This day, O Lord, and evermore.

Amen.

i have corned beef brisket, cabbage all ready to go for St. Pats day. irish breakfast tea is one of my favorites — especially when it is cold — nice and strong to get me going! love tea cups. happy friday,

Your shamrocks are so pretty perched in your tea cup. I, too, enjoy tea . . . especially in the afternoon when all is quiet. I have 3 young children, so we do celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a hunt for gold, green pancakes . . . and yes, we wear green :0) For who likes to get pinched ;0)Today marks our second Friday of Lent. The menu I prepare for our family is void of meat . . . and humble, as we remember our Lord's great sacrifice for us.I wish you and yours a beautiful weekend,Suzanne
